Answer: C) misses his native land.

Explanation: In the given excerpt from Part 1 of "The Odyssey" by Homer, we can see Odysseus describing Ithaca (his native land), by this moment he had left his home many years before to fight in the Trojan war, and after that he had spend also many years trying to return to Ithaca.
